To meet strict dates agreed on by your team, preparation and planning are the key.\u00a0 Plan for extended lead times and be prepared to initiate orders sooner than you may have thought.\u00a0 In a normal year, our lead times on extruders and presses ranges from 6 to 10 weeks.\u00a0 This year, unfortunately, we are seeing lead times extend beyond 14-21 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you want to have equipment delivered by the end of this year, in years past, you would initiate your order sometime in October.\u00a0 This year, with all the supply chain disruptions, you need to move your initiation date up a couple of months to mid-August.\u00a0 This is not only affecting the products that we sell here at Insta-Pro, but we have seen this across the industry which includes storage bins, electrical components and buildings.<\/p>\n<p>If you are on a project timeline, consider expediting financing or contact us to provide alternate financing solutions to ensure your project is not delayed. Our team is ready to help customize a solution that works for your business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to supply chain disruptions, we have been answering several questions about getting equipment placed and operational before the end of 2021.\u00a0 After your order is placed, there are several steps that must happen prior to shipping &amp; installation, this brings me to the term we use to identify this, Lead Time.
